Rodrick, as far as you being able to deploy your application (jar file) on a few 100 to 1000+ nodes and being able to start and stop the application, this is something that you could deploy on EC2 making use of a tool like Puppet; this will require a bit of set up on your part, but it is very doable. However, if you are looking for a more automated way of doing this, maybe you should look into Scalr.

This is also mentioned on a blog from someone trying to do pretty much what you are attempting to do.

Subject: [ Cloud Computing ] Client side testing from a Cloud
We would like to start using one of these commercial Cloud platforms to help load test against our trading system. We have written a sophisticated testing suite that mimics real traders submitting orders into our system and we would like to deploy this application jar file on a few hundred instances if possible.
What is the best platform available today to do this?
Our application is 100% java and runs headless as a daemon on a client machine that makes a few TCP connections to our trading platform and send in a variety random orders.
I've been looking at the Amazon documentation about getting application deployed but still not 100% sure if EC2 is the way to go for something so simple. I don't really need to do much with their WebSerice API other than making a simple dashboard to start up X number of clients and terminate clients.
My requirement is to be able to programmically start this application across 100 to 1000 nodes over time and run for X interval while we look at load and various other utilization on our infrastructure side as a whole.
